I have two white Pentax K-50’s and I call them my Storm Troopers!... so naturally I had purchased some Star Wars characters to play with... looks like laser Adaptalux is going to be added to my case too! ... and a can of Atmosphere! You’re brilliant Ben! Thanks again for the inspiration!
Love LEGO Photography and will be doing some myself. I have the same Slave 1 kit as you but don’t have the other cool figures. I do have some cool ones though.
Take a trick from the original Star Wars movie, Vaseline. Smear just a thin layer on your light saber, and that will help them lighten up a little better.
@@Adaptalux In the original movie, when the land speeder was going across the desert, it had wheels. So they used Vaseline on the film to blur the wheels and make a force field effect under the "car". I think it may also work as a sort of diffuser for light on something clear, like your light saber.
Very cool behind the scenes tricks there. I'm not too keen to put Vaseline on my lens or sensor though! Ill play around with it next time I do something like this, thanks for the suggestion Tim!
Thanks for the great tut. I have to ask - what is the little gizmo thingy with the crocodile clip/clamp attachment with which you hold the white card BG in place? It looks mega handy and I've been looking all over for a tiny thing like this to use instead of plasticine and holding my breath...
Hey Richard, The one I used here is a bit rubbish, but you are right, very handy! We have since added a much better version to our store, check it out here - adaptalux.com/product/macro-subject-holder/
16:10 Totally not true! Lol. When taking pictures of Lego toys based on fictional characters from a space western, it is absolutely realistic to have several different types of storm troopers hanging around together. Love these videos, keep up the great work.
Hi Ben, those were amazing shots. Can you try next time the Justice League characters? My collections are more of the minifigz brands Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy holidays..
is it possible to do the same with heman type figures? they are much bigger then lego. Would a Nikon camera you use do the same job? If it's a yes I will get one then.
We have tutorials with larger figures that might be more helpful! Here's one that would probably be more your size - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lWYEPMrVObA.html I use the Nikon D5600 for that shoot too.
